Rickster8 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Hey Guys, So you can use the Trak Ball controller for the Atari 2600 and this makes games like Activision Decathlon go crazy. So I was thinking how hard would it be to make a Trak Ball controller for the Intellivision? Also since the Intellivision System II has 9 pin controllers that hook and unhook how hard would it be to reprogram a CX22 Atari 2600 Trak Ball controller so it works on an Inty System II console? This is possible right? 🤷♂️ I would love to see this happen. It would make Super Pro Decathlon be playable ON STEROIDS!!! Thoughts? Cheers 🍺 Edited January 18, 2023 by Rickster8 Formatting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) For the purposes of Super Pro Decathlon it should just be a matter of adapting the pinout of the cx22 to Intellivision. If you want to use the button on the cx22, you'll need to add a couple of diodes to keep it interfering with keypad presses. And I think you'd need a cx22 with a trackball switch. Cx22 trakballs without the switch only emulate a joystick. Or a cx80 trakball with the switch set to trackball.
